Drifting Through Nottingham

Creating Photography Projects as Future Heritage through Photo-Psychogeography®

Drifting Through Nottingham is a collaborative photographic publication created following a Photo-Psychogeography® workshop with members of the Rushcliffe Photographic Society.

Over the course of a day walking through Nottingham, photographers explored observation, chance encounters, architecture, people, movement, and atmosphere, developing photographic projects based not simply on what they saw, but on how they experienced the city as they moved through it.

Rather than single images taken in isolation, the photographers created photo-essays and photo-haiku projects, responding to place, movement, and everyday life. Together, these projects form a record of Nottingham at a particular moment in time — a small piece of future heritage.

The book contains photographic projects by members of one Rushcliffe Photographic Society , who I think of as being one of the most succesful and progressive photographic societies in the country at the moment –

Chris Keenan, Jackie Fisher, Howard Fisher, Jezz Richings, John Watson, Paul Daniels, Perm Ghattura, Stuart Senior, Wendy Stanton.

The publication also includes a Photo-Psychogeographic diary of the day by Stewart Wall, documenting the walk, the encounters, and the development of the projects.

This publication demonstrates Stewart Wall’s street photography method Photo-Psychogeography®, which moves beyond snatched images of what we notice, towards photographic projects based on how we feel about the landscapes we walk through with our cameras.
